Football in Queensland United
Football Queensland is the governing body of association football (soccer) and futsal in Queensland and a member of Australia’s national football governing body (Football Australia).
Football Queensland is recognised by both the State and Federal Governments and Football Australia as the governing body for soccer and futsal in Queensland, Australia.
Tracing its history back to the establishment of the Anglo-Queensland Football Association in 1884, Football Queensland now has more than 300,000+ participants and 308 clubs across the state.
Football Queensland is the sole governing body for football in Queensland with nine regional offices throughout the state:
- Football Queensland Central
- Football Queensland Darling Downs
- Football Queensland Far North & Gulf
- Football Queensland Metro (North & South)
- Football Queensland Northern
- Football Queensland South Coast
- Football Queensland Sunshine Coast
- Football Queensland Whitsunday Coast
- Football Queensland Wide Bay
These regional offices were established in 2021 as part of the Future of Football 2020+ Reforms to better reflect the geography and strategic direction of the regions throughout Queensland. During the reform journey, the local football community was invited to engage in a six-month state-wide consultation process based on improving four key areas of the game: Governance, Administration, Competitions and Affordability.
Each regional office has a local administrator and committee members which are elected by clubs to meet quarterly to discuss functional and geographical matters.
“There are some great opportunities for the city and the state to 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 by having a piece of infrastructure that is right-sized for not only football, but for plenty of other entertainment content as well. It is absolutely a 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐜𝐞 in the city of Brisbane.” 🏟️
In Part 8 of the #EQUALISER series with Simon Hill, Football Queensland CEO Robert Cavallucci discusses how a Tier 2 stadium would revolutionise football in Queensland by easing the demand for fit-for-purpose infrastructure.
As one of three key infrastructure priorities revealed in FQ`s 2024-2026 Infrastructure Strategy, the Tier 2 stadium will be a crucial community asset that supports Queensland talent at every level while driving the game`s growth and development ahead of Brisbane 2032 and the AFC Women`s Asian Cup in 2026.
